Linear Unit Grammar: Integrating speech and writing
John McH. Sinclair and Anna Mauranen
People have a natural propensity to understand language text as a succession of smallish chunks, whether they are reading, writing, speaking or listening. Linguists have found that this propensity can shed light on the nature and structure of language, and there are many studies which attempt to… read more[Studies in Corpus Linguistics, 25] 2006. xxii, 185 pp.
Translation Universals: Do they exist?
Edited by Anna Mauranen and Pekka Kujamäki
Translation universals is one of the most intriguing and controversial topics in recent translation studies. Can we discover general laws of translation, independent of the particularities of individual translations? Research into this is new: serious empirical work only began in the late nineties.… read more[Benjamins Translation Library, 48] 2004. vi, 224 pp.
Academic Writing: Intercultural and textual issues
Edited by Eija Ventola and Anna Mauranen
Writing is crucial to the academic world. It is the main mode of communication among scientists and scholars and also a means for students for obtaining their degrees. The papers in this volume highlight the intercultural, generic and textual complexities of academic writing. Comparisons are made… read more[Pragmatics & Beyond New Series, 41] 1996. xiv, 258 pp.

2016 Temporality in speech – Linear Unit Grammar The dynamicity of communication below, around and above the clause, Clarke, Ben and Jorge Arús-Hita (eds.), pp. 77–98 | Article
Language is usually modelled through a predominantly synoptic perspective; even if the object of analysis is spoken language, we tend to look at extracts where the analysis of parts makes use of the whole. Holistic analyses can be very good for capturing realities of language in many respects,… read more

. Speaking professionally in an L2: Issues of corpus methodology Variation and Change in Spoken and Written Discourse: Perspectives from corpus linguistics, Bamford, Julia, Silvia Cavalieri and Giuliana Diani (eds.), pp. 5–32 | Article
The fastest-growing use of globalised English is among speakers for whom it is not a first language, that is, English used as a lingua franca (ELF). To keep up with the developments of the language in such varying circumstances poses a challenge to research: how can we access reliable data that… read more
2011 Learners and users – Who do we want corpus data from? A Taste for Corpora: In honour of Sylviane Granger, Meunier, Fanny, Sylvie De Cock, Gaëtanelle Gilquin and Magali Paquot (eds.), pp. 155–172 | Article
Learner corpora and lingua franca corpora differ in important ways in social and interactional aspects. Yet in the cognitive domain of language processing they have much in common, as reflected in lexicogrammatical and phraseological features. They can therefore be seen as complementary takes on… read more
2009 Spoken rhetoric: How do natives and non-natives fare? Cross-Linguistic and Cross-Cultural Perspectives on Academic Discourse, Suomela-Salmi, Eija and Fred Dervin (eds.), pp. 199–218 | Article
English has become the lingua franca of the academic world, and its use by non-native speakers is probably more widespread today than by natives. This paper looks into rhetorical patterning in lectures using English as a lingua franca and compares it to native speaker rhetoric. The model adopted as… read more
2005 Contrasting languages and varieties with translational corpora Contrast in Context, Aijmer, Karin, Hilde Hasselgård and Stig Johansson (eds.), pp. 73–92 | Article
Translations are invaluable sources for contrastive research. Yet they possess specific linguistic features, which arise from the nature of translation as a form of language contact. This paper explores some aspects of the specificity of translated texts: social and cognitive determinants of… read more

Non-referential there has been widely discussed as part of existential sentences, and as an organiser of information in the sentence. Much less attention has been paid to its roles in discourse. As an item without a direct equivalent in many languages, it offers an interesting issue for… read more
1999 Will 'translationese' ruin a contrastive study? Languages in Contrast 2:2, pp. 161–185 | Article
Translated texts have been known as source material for contrastive analyses for a long time. Their value as suitable data has tended to be controversial throughout, and a new controversy is springing up now that corpus linguistics offers new perspectives for contrastive studies as well. Now that… read more
